SEC Ends $25,000 Day-Trading Limit
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission approved FINRA-proposed changes that removed the Pattern Day Trader rule, including the $25,000 minimum equity requirement and related trading classification.
Previously, accounts under $25,000 were limited to four day trades within five business days, but that restriction had been eliminated under the new framework.
The updated system shifted to real-time, risk-based margin requirements that applied to all investors.
Regulators also said public feedback strongly supported the overhaul.
Robinhood’s Chief Brokerage Officer Steve Quirk called the update a major step forward for retail investors, while Webull’s group president Anthony Denier had described the reforms as long overdue.
The change was expected to boost trading activity and engagement across retail platforms, supporting revenue tied to trading volume.
